## Abstract

This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Boeing Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800, and - 900 series airplanes; Model 747 series airplanes; and Model 757 series airplanes, that currently requires revision of the FAA-approved airplane flight manual (AFM) to advise the flight crew of certain operating restrictions for maintaining minimum fuel levels; prohibits use of the horizontal stabilizer tank on certain airplanes, and prohibits the installation of certain fuel pumps. This amendment requires concurrent removal of the currently required AFM revisions and insertion of new AFM revisions; requires installation of placards to alert the flightcrew to the operating restrictions; and prohibits installation of any uninspected pumps. This amendment permits the AFM revision and placard to be removed under certain conditions. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent fuel vapors from coming into contact with an ignition source in the center wing fuel tank, horizontal stabilizer fuel tank, center auxiliary fuel tank (body tank), or auxiliary fuel tanks 1 and 4, which could result in fire/ explosion.
